zAMPExplorer - A Versatile Shiny App for Microbiota Profiling in Clinical Microbiology

A Shiny web application offering a user-friendly, accessible, and reproducible platform for downstream analysis of 16S rRNA-based metagenomics data. Key features include quality control visualizations (e.g., rarefaction curves), community composition plots, and statistical analyses for alpha- and beta-diversity. The app integrates advanced features like community typing with Dirichlet multinomial modeling (DMM) and metadata-driven redundancy analysis (RDA) to explore microbial associations with clinical and experimental variables.
